GENE SIMMONS Gives Hip-Hop Advice

March 8, 2007

KISS bassist/vocalist Gene Simmons recently made the following statement to AllHipHop.com about where he thinks rap needs to go:

"Rap better figure out something new, because the next group of guys who say 'Wassup' is not gonna be original enough. Very soon that clock will stop ticking, and it's gonna have to move to that next step, or something else will come and push it out of the way as well. Also I'd like to hear a rapper who can really speak English exceedingly well, somebody who can pronounce every single word, doesn't make up his own language and just is a breath of fresh air. Someone who comes in with a suit and tie and really comes off as well dressed [and] well educated just to be different."

A&E has set a March 25 premiere date for the second season of Gene Simmons' reality-TV show "Gene Simmons Family Jewels". The cable channel began production last fall on 20 one-hour episodes.
